Nope, just the ability to buy more music with the money you saved on not buying a big box.


My observation concerned whether there was any reason for box buyers to consider buying this. The answer appears to be no.

If, for example, there was a new mix that e.g., restored the missing bass part in 'Safe (Canon Song), then the answer could be yes. Ditto if the video transfer of the promo films was from a better source.

What's funny is that the promo text up there makes zero mention that everything on the BluRay appears to have been released before. Including the 'new' mixes.
 
I thought this new one has higher resolution and a new mix or is it Lossy? :unsure:

"WITH NEW 96 KHZ / 24-BIT 5.1 SURROUND & STEREO MIXES FROM THE MULTI-TRACK MASTER TAPES BY JAKKO JAKSZYK & THE ORIGINAL STEREO MIX"

They just copied that description from the original box set listing. It's the same 5.1 and 2.0 remixes as before, but probably in a lossless codec this time as they're using Blu-Ray. Thrilled to have it, as I wanted to hear the 5.1 but couldn't justify the cost of the big box.

So is that false advertising then?

Well, why not for only 12 quid?
Not as though I already have the original LP from '75 ... then the first CD release ... then the Deluxe CD/DVD release ... and then what I thought would be the final: the Deluxe Box Set. o_O

Here's hoping it'll be followed up with, as reported, Anderson getting Wilson to do "Olias" in 5.1. 🤞
 
Did not buy the box because it contained vinyl.
I did write to cherry red expressing my disappointment at the time and telling them I did not want vinyl so I would not buy it. So I hope it was me sowing the seeds at least in some small part which prompted this needless to say I have now purchased this from Cherry Reds Web site
